SHARING the news you're going to be parents again to your young children can always be a hit-or-miss occasion, but luckily for this mum her five-year-old son is over the moon.

To say he's happy about being a new big brother is an understatement. He screams it from the top of his lungs, for one thing.

As Ethan Bromby casts his eyes over his mum's ultrasound pictures, his eyes light up and following up his adorable reaction he says with delight: "I'm going to be a new big brother... I hope you're not joking."

After his mum convinces him that she is not joking he proudly said he is going to tell his teacher and asks if he can hold it.

The heartwarming footage was posted on by Sarah, 28, on Facebook last Friday and has already been viewed over 26 MILLION times.

Sarah told the Scunthorpe Telegraph : "I was expecting him to take it well because he has been pestering me about having a brother or sister.

"I take pictures of him anyway but people have gone crazy over it - people were already talking about it when I came into work."

Sarah will find out whether she's due a boy or girl next month.
